I’ve been on a bit of a sock kick lately, and have been putting my stash of Scheepjes Invicta Extra and Invicta Colour to good use.  My favourite so far are these striped socks!  If you can knit socks this is super easy.  Not a pattern as such, as we all have our preferred method for knitting socks, but I …

A while back I mentioned on my Facebook page that my husband and I have plans to visit Iceland this spring. Of course, with plans for an adventure like that, you need to prepare!  By prepare, I mean knit hats and socks like your life depends on it! Since I’ve been on a design kick lately, I wanted to design something for myself …

Ok folks!  Here it is, my very first ever released design!  I know I said my beaded scarf was my first design, and it is…. but this was a lot quicker to make, so I was able to release it first.  Just in time for the Scheepjes Christmas Blog Hop! As I mentioned in my sneak peek this is a nice …

Remember last year when us Scheepjes Bloggers got together for a Christmas blog hop? Well, we’re back for another!  We will be sharing both knitted and crocheted Christmas designs for yourself or quick gifts for friends and family, all projects that can be whipped up just in time for Christmas! I will be sharing my design on December 4th and …

Yup, you read right. I designed a thing… or am in the process of designing a thing, rather.   I’m carefully tiptoeing into the world of design!  I have decided to start off simple, with a nice scarf in a stitch I discovered recently and really loved.  This kept the design process simple and painless for me so far and …

Before I go any further, if the title made you think “… feel the ride!” (because it’s been stuck in your head ever since Cool Runnings), we are kindred spirits. Anyway, months ago some of us Scheepjes bloggers were asked what we would like to see added to their yarn line.  At that time I was all like “Lace… definitely lace… LACE …

I plan to keep track of my Sophie’s Universe project as I go along, but of course, I only decided this once I was part way through!  So there are a few steps I may miss along the way and my initial photos will just be quick Instagram pics I took during the process.  No worries, though, as this is …

I need another WIP like I need a hole in the head, but there are some projects that are just too hard to resist.  I planned to dial it back and try to get my WIP’s under control, but then I discovered Sophie’s Universe, a CAL that was put on by Dedri, one of our fellow Scheepjes bloggers.  I missed out on the CAL …

Time for an update on my BlueSand Cardigan!  I have been going great guns on this pattern and just as I suspected in my earlier post, the yoke / shoulder shaping was the most difficult part.  Well, so far at least! After separating the sleeves, it was all quite simple once I got going, with a lot of it just …

Recently I was contacted about making another Dreambird, this time in the colors of the sea.  I realized as I was looking back in my blog that I have only ever posted the first Dreambird that I’d ever made.  After making that one I was contacted by a few people asking if I could make them one and over the last year I …

This is what I’ve been working on using my recent yarn delivery, a BlueSand Cardigan! You can find the details on the yarn and pattern at the end of this post, but here is what the cardigan looks like finished: It’s a project that I have had saved for about a year and have been waiting to have the time to work on …
